PORT HARCOURT—A 19-year-old drug suspect, (names withheld), has excreted another 39 wraps of substance, suspected to be cocaine in detention.

The drug suspect was arrested two weeks ago at the Port Harcourt International Airport by men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, about to board an Air France AF 3031 flight to Paris.

On the day he was arrested, he excreted 71 wraps of the substance weighing 962 grammes. According to the Commander of the NDLEA at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Mr Julius Parah, the drug suspect excreted the substance precisely on June 17, and would be charged to court within the week. He said so far, he had excreted a total of 1.10 kilograms of the substance.

He said the NDLEA was still keeping the suspect to ensure that nothing was left in his system.

He said the drug suspect was not sure of the total number of wraps he was carrying.
